There is nothing we can do to help you on here. If ER aren't helping you then you NEED to go and see a doctor, end of. Unless you want to end up with a life threatening infection. And stop using! Taper or just quit, either way you clearly are phsyically hurting youself very badly.

This is the only advice that is going to be of use to you. I will leave this open for the time being incase there is any usefull advice.

However if it ends up being 2 pages of 'go to the doctor' there will be very little point in leaving it open, but for now I will.
 
the lesions/abscesses are staph infections from not hitting the vein correctly, I would assume. Everything else is your body's reaction to the obviously shitty cut that you're getting in your dope.

As for Morgellon's, it's actually not even called a disease, it's regarded in the medical community as a 'phenomenon' because there is no scientific proof or research as to what causes this (it is said to be characterized as a disease of the hair and the hair follicle, and can be accompanied by lesions on the skin). Have you been tested for HIV or other STI's?

If you have a constant metallic or iron-ish taste in your mouth, it can indicate a few things. One of the simplest being that you are lacking vitamins, specifically zinc. Take a multivitamin and eat some good foods. Drink water. Rehydrate yourself. A metallic taste in the mouth, when not caused by an antibiotic, can also indicate something inside your body is seriously wrong. Ulcers, kidney failure, mercury poisoning, etc etc etc. Please go to the doctor. Don't go to the same ER you went to before, since they're obviously treating you like a low life addict if they are just dismissing your symptoms as withdrawal.
Help you? Um - STOP SHOOTING UP! I know how incredibly hard it is to quit the dope, believe me, been there. However, I have never taken the IV road and I'm sure that's a whole other monkey on your back that I'm not privy to - but seriously, you're causing serious harm to your body that may be irreversible if you don't stop, like, right now. Maybe start tapering off. Replace shots with smoking. Gradually cut down usage. Seek treatment. Ask friends or family or anyone that will listen for help.
 
k when i say helnp i mean has anyone else experienced thesed symptoms.... i plan on going to a free clinic today to get tested and i have not injected it since the 13th and do not plan on it cuz obviously my body rfejectzs it or itsz just rfeally killing me... thats why i am trippin maybe cuz ive been using so much and now im just xone itz affectging me ugh well will someone pls lemme know if they have had this same experience

Please edit your post rather than double posting.

When you get the chance take a look at the BLUA and OD Guidelines in my signature.
 
"when i say help i mean has anyone else experienced these symptoms..."

Me, personally? No. I don't IV though. However, I have seen the abscesses on people when they miss their veins when trying to shoot. I've also seen some nasty nasty reactions to the cuts in the dope. Hives, itchy, fever, sweats, etc.

Have you shared a needle with anyone else? If the answer is yes, you should RUN, not walk, to that free clinic you were talking about going to. The sooner you know what is ailing you, the sooner you and your doctor can find a solution to remedy it.

Sounds like you have been taking some steps in the right direction. Feeling 80 at 26? Yeah, man. That sucks. I totally know what you mean. Find a new, healthy addiction that brings you energy. Workout. Bike. Skateboard. Whatever turns your pickle. But get off your ass and do something besides wallow in your sobriety. Occupy your brain. For added energy, maybe you could discuss something with your doctor like wellbutrin. There are also natural alternatives such as Rhodiola, Bee Pollen capsules, Ginseng...and many more where that came from.

Keep on truckin'....I truly wish you the best of luck in kicking this beast.
 
Morgellons disease?

I don't think you're going to end up with that from shooting meth. Also off hand I don't think it's even confirmed that morgellons really exists or not.

Regardless I would find it really weird if you ended up with that from IV meth. Because mainly it's so weird to even have it, or have someone who allegedly has it.

I personally would think some sort of auto immue response. Have you gotten an hiv/aids test done? Also when was the last time you had regular blood work done?
 
I don't really have any medical advice to offer, but I can tell you I've experienced each and every once of these symptoms during my use.
Slow down, stay calm, try and get yourself at least in a state of mind where you can get to the E.R. or a free clinic.

Much of this could be in your head, although probably not all of it.
 
These are some very serious symptoms of methamphetamine abuse. You need to be evaluated by a doctor.

This does not sound like withdrawals, but do not continue using methamphetamine through any ROA, and spend your time hydrating (PROPERLY WITH ELECTROLYTES, your electrolytes are likely beyond fucked up), taking vitamins and ensuring optimal nutrition from food. Proteins are a must, and you can't get all your vitamins from tablets, it has to come from food.

Exercise daily, and get as much sleep as you can. Get checked by a doctor. As an IV user you could have contracted a bloodborne disease, bacteria, virus, etc. Do you have a fever?
